Letter to Fall Break

I miss you, simply because (and there is no other way to put it) you were wonderful, and very much needed.

I think the best part was being home. I was missing Wilmingtonso much. There were different things I was missing: family, friends, Port City Java, the beach, downtown shopping afternoons, the river, my home church, my own room and the ability to have a moment to breathe.

Fall break, you delivered full force. I got to spend time with my parents and brother which was glorious... I has really missed them. Spending almost a full year in Zambia away from my family gave me such a appreciation for them. An afternoon cruising around with my dad looking at folk art? Morning shopping trips with my mom? Yeah, that's a win.

College has also been wearing on me. But you knew that Fall break, so thank you for the nights of fellowship with my dear friends, Megan and Chloe'. We needed to be around the confessional bar, spilling our secrets to that granite kitchen counter once again. What is the confessional bar? Well, it is our tradition to gather round the countertop in the Wright household and let it all out... teasing ensues, shocking declarations, ridiculous topics are discussed, new opinions are formed, but mainly it is our release and time together to laugh. God blessed me so much with those crazy two, so I could have a back up team to weather college and life with.

Breakfast time with Liz was also a remedy to my worn out college self. Don't get me wrong, I like college, but 15 credit hours coupled with working 16 hours and not really getting a lot of alone time is wearing me down. I didn't even really want to leave Wilmington. Chlo and I were driving back, and when I saw those mountains looming over me, I wondered why you had to leave me so soon Fall break.

College just overwhelms you if you let it.

We didn't have enough time together Fall break, but goodness, I did enjoy the time we did!
